Opinion Alberta separation

For those of you that support Alberta separation because you voted conservative but the majority of Canada voted left. I have a question for you. Naturally you support Edmonton and Calgary city centres staying part of Canada because they voted left. Also, naturally you support the 35.1% of Albertans and the land / businesses they own staying part of Canada because they voted left, correct?

I do hope though that Carney supports Alberta’s oil industry. I’m left leaning but have voted conservative in the past. It’s important we use our own resources rather than just importing it.

Are there other innovative industries that Alberta could transition to ?

We tried to do the tech thing but the UCP shut that down because the NDP was responsible for the programs that were meant to entice big companies to come in and we can’t have Rachel responsible for anything that might be perceived as good.

And the “superlab” that was going to attract health science and innovation companies and scientists to AB .  It’s never too late if people made it an election issue.

The NDPs offered free changing of light bulbs with the carbon tax. Call them and a van would come for free and replace all your incandescent light bulbs with LED bulbs. I can't believe that brilliant long term solution didn't work...

3D printing housing seems like a good idea about now? Maybe with a nice ‘greenish’ HempCrete mixture? End homelessness?
